Umami Fish Sauce Turkey Burgers

• servings: 3 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 23 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb. Ground Turkey (or ground chicken)

3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh Rosemary

1.5 Tablespoon Fish Sauce (, or soy sauce but fish sauce tastes better)

3 cloves Garlic (, minced)

1 teaspoon Sugar (, optional)

fresh cracked Black Pepper (to taste)

Oil (for brushing patties and buns *See Note 1)

4 Hamburger Buns

1 Avocado (, sliced)

Favorite Burger Condiments (sprouts, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mayo, mustard, etc...)

Directions

Combine burger mix

In a medium bowl gently combine turkey, rosemary, fish sauce, garlic, sugar, and black pepper (try not to over mix the meat).

Oil hands

Oiling your hands helps the meat from sticking when forming the patties.

Form patties

Form the meat mixture into 3-4 equal patties.

Heat and oil grill

Heat grill or pan over medium high heat. Brush or spray both sides of patties and insides of buns with oil and both sides of patties with oil (if grilling, brush or spray grill grates with oil as well).

Cook turkey burgers

Cook each side for approx. 3-4 minutes or until cooked through *see Note 2 (time will depend on patty thickness and cooking heat). Or you can pan sear the patties over a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.

Grill buns

Place buns face down on grill or pan and cook until lightly browned (usually cooks within a minute).

Assemble burgers

Assemble with avocado and toppings of choice. Serve and eat immediately.
